Brandon has redesigned his Skull Nutcracker. When he first discovered figural nutcrackers on the internet and in books he set out and made his first designs without seeing an example in person. After we acquired a few vintage nutcrackers and after seeing other peoples collections, Brandon decided to recreate the Skull Nutcracker to be more delicate and more in scale with the vintage figural nutcrackers. The new version is approximately 7 inches tall . The old version was quite a bit larger at 8 inches tall.

Here is a picture of the old version and the new version for comparison.

Here are some pictures showing the detail of the new Skull Nutcracker……

Brandon also created the coffin shaped stand for this nutcracker. The Skull Nutcracker is the first of the new design and is signed and numbered #1. It is currently listed on Ebay. This would make a nice Halloween addition to any collection!

The Figural Seahorse Nutcracker is complete! I think this is my favorite nutcracker Brandon has created to date. This nutcracker is an Ardoria Studios Original design. It is wonderfully detailed and the finish makes it look like an aged nutcracker. Brandon also made a shell stand specially for the nutcracker.

This nutcracker is being placed on Ebay for auction. Click on the link to check out the auction.

I will be sad to see this one go but I am happy that friends and family were able to see it this holiday season. I just loved it on our mantle, it looked wonderful!
